You don't want to miss out on this! *We navigated away from our original plan to return to the Cinders OHV this year due to the devastating Tunnel Fire. We'll be monitoring the O'Leary Campground and Cinders OHV regeneration progress and hope to return someday. But we couldn't let that hinder our plans to host an awesome weekend with our ORP fam, so we grabbed the Group Site down the road at Dogtown Lake.

Grab the family and come spend a weekend tent or RV camping with us. Don't be that person hearing about all the great stuff you missed for the next whole year - sign up now! LOCATION Dogtown Lake, just 7 miles south of Williams, AZ | Click here for: MAP We reserved the group camp site at Dogtown Lake campground. All campsites can accommodate tents, trailers and RVs. Campground amenities include vault toilets, water and garbage bins. There are no hookups or dump station at the campground. Overflow parking is also available. Campers are drawn to the area's hiking and fishing opportunities. The lake is stocked with trout, crappie and channel catfish. Visitors can enjoy a guided nature trail near the lake and a hiking trail that leads to a scenic overlook of the area from the top of nearby Davenport Hill. The calm waters are inviting for canoes, kayaks and electric motorboats. Single motors of one horsepower or less are permitted. UPDATE: see above and word from camp host: FYI the spigots in the campground don't work right now, but there is a large tank of water where you can fill up a container to use in camp.
